It sure was nice this morning, wasn’t it? But, if you thought the cooler weather was going to hang with us a bit longer you’re sure to be disappointed. The heat-up is on.
Daytime temps for the next week will hug the 100° mark (actual temperature) and heat index values could reach 110°.
Welcome to Oklahoma.
With the extreme heat and the number of days we’ll experience it, I think we can consider this a critical weather event.
A heat advisory has been issued for the Tulsa area beginning at noon tomorrow and ending at 8pm tomorrow night. I’m sure this isn’t the only one that’ll be issued for the next 7 days.
HEAT INDICES BETWEEN 105 AND 110 DEGREES ARE EXPECTED AGAIN ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS ALL OF NORTHEAST AND EAST CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. * IMPACTS...THE COMBINATION OF HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL CREATE A SITUATION IN WHICH HEAT RELATED ILLNESSES ARE POSSIBLE. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... * DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS...STAY IN AN AIR-CONDITIONED ROOM... STAY OUT OF THE SUN...AND CHECK UP ON RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS. NEVER LEAVE ANYONE IN A CLOSED...PARKED VEHICLE...TEMPERATURES INSIDE CAN REACH OVER 150 DEGREES QUICKLY...RESULTING IN DEATH.
NEVER leave anyone, especially children and pets, unattended in your vehicle. Not even for a few minutes.
